Sharing Cinemagraphs in Emails

Learn how to export your cinemagraphs for email campaigns

Written by Vikki Dziuma Updated over a week ago

We always recommend sharing HD cinemagraphs on the web to display, but email is one exception. Because you can't control autoplaying and looping video within emails, a GIF is the most reliable file type.

Cinemagraph Pro for macOS

Export your cinemagraph by selecting Export (⌘E) at the upper right corner of the app or under the File menu

Under Format, select Animated GIF

Click Next and name your file

Insert the GIF into your email

Cinemagraph Pro for iOS

Go to your documents or tap on the back icon to exit the editor

Tap the share icon

Select Export Cinemagraph

Select GIF under File Format

Select Save

Insert the GIF into your email

Tips

It’s important to try and keep the total size of your email to 10MB or less because messages can be blocked if they’re unusually large. As such, when you select GIF under File Format, the resolution will be updated to the smallest size available. You will not need to increase the number of repetitions because one repetition will loop endlessly. You have the option of customizing the settings by tapping on the specific setting you wish to modify, but it is not recommended for this format.
